Abstract : Web development and online applications have progressed to the point that several frameworks and tools have been created to make development easier. The use of such frameworks does improve the speed and efficiency of web development, but it is not without its drawbacks. In the era of digital transformation, the demand for efficient and scalable web applications has significantly increased. This paper explores the landscape of web application development, comparing key technologies and frameworks that have shaped modern web services. Specifically, it delves into the advantages and characteristics of Ruby on Rails (RoR) and Python, two prominent frameworks used in web development, highlighting their strengths, challenges, and use cases. This work examines the role of cloud-based solutions in enhancing web application efficiency, scalability, and accessibility, emphasising models like Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), Platform- as-a-Service (PaaS), and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS). The paper also investigates the integration of Ruby on Rails and Python with cloud platforms, illustrating how major companies leverage these technologies to drive innovation. Furthermore, a comparative analysis of Ruby on Rails and Python is presented, focusing on aspects such as learning curve, development speed, scalability, performance, and community support. The insights gathered aim to assist developers and businesses in selecting the right technologies for their web application needs, ensuring optimal performance, flexibility, and future scalability.
